VX Uganda

VX Sport (originally Rock-It-Ball) is a ball indoor sport played by two teams of five players on a court that is roughly the size of a sports hall with four badminton courts, basketball courts or squash courts can be used. Players dribble by rock-ing the ball between the two ends, or by using one end of the VstiX to bounce the ball on the floor to score into the goalpost.
